Talk of a curse hovering over the upcoming 22nd James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" continued this week as actor Daniel Craig cut off the tip of one of his fingers during an action sequence.

According to a source for The Telegraph, the bleeding Craig was taken to hospital but returned in the afternoon to continue filming.

The injury is the third in a spate of recent mishaps on the set following a collision last week which left Craig with a gash on his face that required eight stitches. Last weekend, a fire broke out which severely damaged an outdoor set at Pinewood Studios.

This trio of mishaps comes on top of a trio of car accidents in April whilst filming around Lake Garda in Italy.

In good news for the production, the first teaser trailer has been finished and looks all set to debut with "Hancock" in three weeks.
